The writers’ strike is a month old and might not end for awhile.
I don’t think viewers are going to be as annoyed as you might think. We might even appreciate a break from having to watch our favorite TV shows. Maybe we’ll learn to use our non-TV time so wisely, we won’t stand for the existence of three CSIs, 20 seasons of ER, or one episode of Last Call with Carson Daly.
Reruns give us a chance to break our addiction to TV. If the networks don’t realize this, the writers’ strike will cost a whole lot more than Internet residuals.
